Veteran’s Programs, Treatment and Therapy
When you’re dealing with inpatient PTSD treatment for veterans, veteran depression, trauma treatment or addiction treatment for veterans, finding care that understands your experience matters. The physicians at Del Amo specialize in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety and other behavioral health concerns that directly affect veterans and active-duty service members.
Our veteran therapy programs are built around your needs, not a one-size-fits-all model. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Evidence-based therapies: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, cognitive processing therapy, present-centered therapy and mindfulness interventions are used to address trauma treatment and co-occurring conditions. EMDR for veterans is also available and can be particularly helpful in processing traumatic memories.
- Case management: the team assesses for immediate risks such as homelessness, substance use or suicidal thoughts. A wellness strategy is then tailored to outline the patient’s specific steps toward recovery.
- Service eligibility: The team helps determine eligibility for California veterans benefits provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or through state and local community programs, so you can access every resource available to you.
- Medication management: Medication interactions for behavioral conditions and substance use issues can affect drug safety and how well a treatment works. The team monitors this carefully throughout your care.
- Family coordination: A healthy support system may help prevent relapse. We work with your loved ones to encourage them to be part of your recovery.
Staff at Del Amo are trained in trauma care and recovery coping techniques, including:
- Individual and peer group therapy, where sharing experiences may lead to healing
- Coping techniques to help veterans maintain their recovery and prevent setbacks
You’ve served others. Now it’s time to let others support you.
Military Inpatient Mental Health and Substance Use Care
Del Amo integrates programming and preventive services for the dual diagnosis of mental health conditions and substance use issues. Whether you need inpatient mental health hospital-level care or a structured outpatient setting, we have flexible options for patients who require varying levels of care.
Our military inpatient mental health and outpatient services include:
- Medication management
- Addiction recovery groups
- Inpatient and outpatient services
- Healing therapies tailored for veterans
Healing doesn’t always happen in a clinical setting. The focus of our recreational therapies extends beyond symptom relief to include community building, skill development and self-esteem exercises:
- Mindfulness and meditation to manage stress and promote relaxation
- Recreational therapies such as art, music and pet therapy
- Consistent exercise, yoga, deep breathing and nutritional counseling
- Veteran peer-to-peer support groups
Depression Treatment in Torrance and Ongoing Support
Depression treatment at Del Amo goes beyond managing symptoms. Support groups and outpatient group sessions allow veterans to share the mental health challenges associated with drug or alcohol addiction and long-term recovery. This kind of connection can make a real difference.
Ongoing support includes:
- Check-ins to monitor progress and maintain communication
- Crisis intervention for immediate and emergency support
- Coordination for collaboration between providers
- Patient visits to reinforce love and family support
Setbacks can happen during recovery. That’s a common part of the process, and it doesn’t mean failure. What matters is that you have a team in your corner when they do.
